Lady Gaga | @ladygaga/Instagram In 2012, Chrome Entertainment‘s CEO formed a group called Hurricane Pop, which consisted of five women who were not taller than 165 cm and did not have a “sexy image.” After their first live performance and a line-up change, the group were renamed to Crayon Pop.
The group were not initially successful, and to stand out from other girl groups, the Crayon Pop began wearing tracksuits for their performances. They gained a loyal fanbase through street performances and were successful in Japan.
In June 2013, the group released “Bar Bar Bar,” one of their most popular tracks that featured the group wearing their ironic scooter helmets, skirts, and polo shirts. The group quickly went viral and attracted worldwide attention, earning them their first music show win and a contract with Sony Music Entertainment.
It wouldn’t be until the following year that the group served as the opening act for Lady Gaga’s ArtRave: The Artpop Ball for twelve concerts across the US.
As it turned out, Lady Gaga wanted the group to perform for the 29-date North American tour, but they had to focus on recording their album!
